A keyboard remapping making it easier to program with nordic (DK, SE, NO) Qwerty keyboard layouts

; ------------------------------------------------------------
;
; This script remaps your keyboard so it is more convenient to code
; while under the slavery of the nordic QWERTY mapping
;
; The script will do the following
; * Remap alt-j, alt-k. alt-l. alt-i to become cursor movements
; * Remap å and ¨ to imulate the nice position of []{} on US-QWERTY
; * Remap alt-h to be ";\n" since that is a very frequent sequence for C#. Java, C, ... programmers
;
; Enjoy

#IfWinActive, ahk_exe devenv.exe


#NoEnv  ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
; #Warn  ; Enable warnings to assist with detecting common errors.
SendMode Input  ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%  ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.


; Easy access to [] and {}
; Using this script over switching to US-QWERTY is advantageous 
; since you still want access to eg. CTRL-å
; And you need not have multiple keyboards that potentially gets activated 
; in other applications than VS
